[gamblerpete]

[MetallicaGladiator]

macho man.. king of promos

[finerty1961]

fuck i miss these days when i actully belived the characters

[proyect070109]

@finerty1961 me too man. i really thought the whole thing was real... :)

[desamania]

Did Hogan say he was gonna take some vitamins for the Royal Rumble???!!! LMAO!!!

[Puddi77]

Ah those were the days. When Bret Hart was wrestling in the shadow of his great tag team partner JIm Neidhart.

[86Stooy]

Hogan and hulkamania has been at its peak for decades ffs when will the old fool go home and stay home.

[TokenPictures111]

Brett: Don't get worked up MELLOW OUT! LMAO

[chopaxecentrepiece]

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, gotta love randy savage....macho man randyyyyyyy savage, hahaha

[excelx213]

the powers of pain! man... what the fuck happened to tag teams like the powers of pain of legion of doom! memories....sigh

nowadays wwe tag teams all look like justin timberlake lol wannabe pretty girly-boys with no talent.

[paulspagetti]

@excelx213 So true,

[Durhandoni80]

Macho Man should have done the David Caruso

[BearandBDuB]

Did the Anvil really say dingalings every where at 2:20 smh He was too obnoxious

[nwsausuke1]

Anyone else annoyed by Honky Tonk Man?

[homerdanher]

who actualy won this ?

[danzig73079]

@homerdanher Hulk Hogan. He last eliminated Mr. Perfect.

[Mouselord96]

RIP Macho Man!

[notyoursavior78]

@Mouselord96

He was one of a kind.

[knightryderrwn]

To paraphrase Bret 'Hitman' Hart, Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart was --

"The craziest there **IS,** the craziest there **WAS,** and the craziest **THERE EVER WILL BE**!!"

[knightryderrwn]

RIP Macho King Randy Savage.

[skedardestroyer]

The Anvil talks faster than I can hear things.

[TheJ024]

Jake "The Snake" Roberts outclassed everyone with his promo.

Simply the best.

[summerpresley1]

Daniel your a star! I haven't watched wrestling since about 96/97 and I saw wwe a liitle while back and god what a mess! With your posts I can watch wwf all over! Is there any DVDs u can recommend that do like a year in review so I can start in 88 onwards???

[curtisgeorge2011]

oh this is so classic, the powers of pain were bad ass!

[ShallahJupiter7XL]

2.21 anvil having a cocaine fit - bret:"take it easy Jim, dont get worked up..mellow out!!!"

[dmoor21]

Honky Tonk Man =sucky

[brethitmanhart14]

shut up macho king!!!!

get to Bret Hart already!!!!!!

Finally the good stuff!!!! Bret Hart!!!!

[brethitmanhart14]

shut up macho king!!!!

[DarkSaber22]

Jesse Ventura with a Mickey Mouse sweater LOL

[mankei13]

the jimmy hart is managaer of earthquake and dino bravo as the same time likte honky tonk man?

[mdh8320]

I like how the old WWF title looked. It's way better tham the WWE title now.

[NWpowerhouse85]

@mdh8320 Why, because it didn't look like a cheesy plastic toy that's worth 14 cents, but rather a legitimate championship belt?

[thadanzwiggler]

I'm going to buy Jake Roberts a BigMac from McDonalds, since he said he will be hungry on Sunday afternoon.

[DominoRyder]

They don't have the little individual interviews before matches anymore because none of the younger wrestlers have charisma. I can't imagine Ted Dibiase Jr or David Otunga doing well with something like that.

[chazdrezlife]

I Dont think those were vitamins Hulkster

[mekissn]

How is Macho King not in the HOF?

[backinblack333]

@mekissn ...And Jake The Snake neither! 

[illwill929]

add Jake The Snake to the list of guys who cut a mean ass promo too!

[kevin1278]

@illwill929 ~Mean Promo cutters: Jake Roberts; Jim Neidhart; Macho Man; Ric Flair; Arn Anderson; Slick.

[CQ1981331]

@kevin1278 hell yeah they had skills with the mic

[kevin1278]

@CQ1981331 ~Oh yeah: I forgot about New Jack. He's the promo king!

[tupac1983]

damn the snake can cut a fuckin promo lol

[darksayese]

OOOOOOOOOO YEAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NWpowerhouse85]

You know, Bret Hart was generally regarded as a horrible interview, but he put together a decent little one here..

[FistOfKings]

Hogan: I've been in the back all day brothers!

[myusername841]

FUCK KANYE WEST

[64antoin]

hard to belive whos not in the hall of fame from this royal rumble

[toucansam3]

@64antoin Its even harder to believe how many of these guys are now dead.

[TheArtofUTube]

Mr. Fuji and Jake Roberts made me think twice. Their mic skills were just so out there and in depth. I really believe that Jake Roberts was capable of doing something that would really hurt someone. The DDT ment something back then. Now everyone does the DDT and it doesn't do any damage.

[joeytrimble]

honkey is stoned as shit!

[TheHappynot]

Say what you want about Hulk, but he's a natural to come up with all that shit off the top of his head.

[punkwarlord]

HE WAS RIGHT!!! i did go broke... :(

[isounder]

every 2 minutes... they should start doing that again

[shad0wMata]

"YEAH BABY YEAHAHAHAHHA!"

Hart Foundation for the win!!!

God, we will never get these times back.

[cdbils001]

honky tonk man

[patriots2185]

Macho Man was one of the BEST of all time, f not THE BEST...but I gotta say, that whole "Macho King" era couldn't have been more queer!

[temptationofmemories]

@patriots2185 maybe but he's still got more personality in one finger than the entire wwe roster combined today (although CM Punk admittedly is the stand out today)

[MichaelMyersMask]

Macho Man Randy Savage = 100% Nuts.

[Smokedizz]

Vitamins=Steroids

[MarioMetroidFan]

@Smokedizz Hahahaha

[MrPopyotop]

OOOOooOOOoooH Yeeeeeeeah !!! Macho Man . LOL !!

[TorgeistLLN]

Could you imagine if he was your school professor? I would be early to class every fucking day man!

[ThiSHmOng6uY]

So how many bottles of baby oil did Hogan used?

[Billcot1]

My god Jake the Snake was good at promos.

[sigmapleide]

Macho Man looks like Captain Beefheart

[salrod1]

So wait...what was the point of this Royal Rumble?

[iamarock09]

lol the dudes with Mr. Fuji sound like Beavis and Butthead with their laughing.

[jakamneziak]

jake the snake could hold a promo better than anyone else. In an era that had everyone shout and scream, his hiss and morose tone cut through and made you listen.

[jparra20]

DAMN I'M GETTING OLD!!!!!!

[Gemini700]

Oh man, Mr. Fuji.

[newnbad]

again same thing great promo cutting you will never see today

[keepthebeat929]

Can Macho Man actually see through those shades?

[stonecoldnwo]

This were just wrestling interviews. They drains my energy out.

[GlorifiedTruth]

Rock on, Honky Tonk Man. I can't believe some people didn't like this guy.

[ShinobiMusashi1]

hogan looked steroided out of his mind!!

[carl2680]

@ShinobiMusashi1 Look at his head, it was probably a 50 pound head. The roids had hogan fire up

[TheMashwatcher585]

macho man was probably the best "king" if not haley race was

[temptationofmemories]

@TheMashwatcher585 I think Macho was definitely the best king I think he took the title to the extreme the most I mean he even added a queen to his reign and was as evil and stuck up as possible during this time.

[hellbilly34a]

Hogan was really into KY Jelly during this time. He liked how it was rubber safe

[hellbilly34a]

jake the snake was like an evil Magnum P.I. with his mustache.

[J5MARLON]

@hellbilly34a or an evil Magnum T.A

[neomysterio]

Hogan has a litre of oil on his body.

[SpunkDustbin]

theres nothing macho about wearing pink lycra and a plastic fucking crown.not to mention those fucking glasses.

[temptationofmemories]

@SpunkDustbin You are so wrong, the fact he wore blindingly bright wrestling attire without a care should be obvious that he was as tough as hell. In order to be that much larger than life in every aspect of wrestling he had to be. Still he was pure intensity and skill in the ring which put others to shame and proved he was a true athlete all while wearing a rainbow. Even when wearing a crown, funky glasses and carrying a scepter the Macho king was still a complete bad-ass heel.

[SpunkDustbin]

@temptationofmemories you make a good point. i stand corrected. rip macho man

[bloodanddajugs]

** listens to Jake** I'll take Bachelor number 3, sounds like a seriously generous lover...

[que19st]

Maaaaaaaaaaaaan classic!!!

[ckendall67]

"The Macho King Randy Savage is the ONE person that nobody should bet against"

Hmmm...anyone who did bet on Savage winning the 1990 Rumble must've soiled themselves when Savage entered No. 5, already at a disadvantage because of the early draw. And then, after Dusty eliminated Savage, OH DEAR LOL.

[25Robbo25]

I have been wondering for the last 20+years, is there any reason why The Anvil wore a shower cap sometimes?? ...I have always wanted to know if there was anything behind it

[dcmayer2]

honkey tonk man could not play a guitar to save his life!!!

[aceofspades281]

Hogan: "One by one, I'm gonna dig down deep inside, pull that reserved energy out from the training, the prayers, and the steroi- er, I mean 'vitamins.'

[OriginalModel1984]

@aceofspades281 hahahaha. =))

[JohnnLP]

isnt that Black Machismo Father or somthing? At the Begining o.o or is that Acturely him back then? o.o

[Rowler101]

@JohnnLP no that's just his  gimmick mocking Macho Man

[OriginalModel1984]

@JohnnLP Black Machismo was copying Macho Man.

[shalevai]

god, how i loved this old school!!.

how could they yell like that all the time? a normal person yells like that and after 2 minutes he has no throat....

[om00do]

i think jake's promo is the best one.

no i'll take that back, jake's promo is the best one.

[brottarnacke]

@om00do Totally.

[ckendall67]

@om00do I agree, Jake's promo is awesome; it's not always the best guys who wins, it's the guy who wants it more than anyone else, the guy who'll sacrifice the most to win the Rumble:-)

[RattPatrol1985]

Ain´t characters like this anymore.... sadly

[tkhushrenada]

@RattPatrol1985

Yeah, I'd take Macho Man Randy Savage over John Cena any day

[MegaSpiderMan]

Where do they sell the shirt Ventura has?

[sharktrinity]

anville hahahaha "Mellow Out!!!" - Bret Hart -

[ROCKNINJA777]

gotta love young hitman!

[tragicdeceit]

Vinnie Mac needs to get Jake Roberts to give the entire current roster lessons on how to cut a good promo

[RicFlairMark]

@tragicdeceit Actually I disagree because SOME of the current roster CAN cut a passable to good promo...3 quarters of the roster however CAN'T

[urbanstroller]

Macho man is the man!

[deficateonyamate]

they are one-way shades on macho man. he cant see anything.

[sufiancomedy]

Crack, weed, coke, & steroids!!!!!!

[duncg23]

Neidhart is well crazy ha ha

[MyHeadAsplodes]

Heh only Jake the Snake isn't yelling like a mad man. He was so smart and so dark at the same time. I seriously wanted this guy to be my father when I was a kid. I've been watching old wrestlings videos like this in the recent days and everytime I come upon Jake I feel extremely sad for the man and what he has become.

[MartyMoves]

....goddam I miss those days. Where does the time go.

[owaisinus]

its so strange that jimmy hart was with dino bravo and earthquake during their speech and the next minute he's with the honky tonk man... who's side was he on btw... he doesn't look like their manager, he looks more of a sidekick...

[lildwayne21]

Listen to the Hulkster breathe hot air

[toucansam3]

How did this get to be 20 years ago?

[pjdr]

@toucansam3 time goes by way too fast unfortunatly

[shiroisan87]

@toucansam3 i'm tellin' ya, man lol

[NWpowerhouse85]

@toucansam3 21 now :(

[toucansam3]

@NWpowerhouse85 Yep, I posted that a year ago on the day. How did this get to be 21 years ago?

[boelefeld]

Mr. Fuji & The Powers of Pain coming to Manchester, England on January 30th for the third annual WrestleSlam-convention.

[thisismyface]

I'm giving honky tonk man best promo of this montage

[rkapeadu]

you should nt bet against macho incase you all go broke wow classic line

[MickeySlayah]

Jake was one of the best talkers ever... He was so cool and calm...

[reaverofsouls]

Amen to that.

Remembering his heel turn against the Warrior and the Undertaker... wow. That was really powerful stuff. Especially since I'd watched Roberts as a face for the years prior to that... and of course being a highly influenced child... heh.

[oldskoolkid78]

You look back as an older person, (ha 31)

and he was the shit....it's sad how WWF used these guys up for whatever they wanted....I mean look...Davey Boy Smith, Big Boss Man, Owen Hart, etc, etc, etc....

Kinds sucks to look back at your heroes fucked over by a MAD money maker......

They are still my heroes and I don't even watch the shit no more...

[MickeySlayah]

I look at it the same way... I think of Rick Rude, Davey Boy, Owen, Perfect... So many of the ones we grew up on, and they're no longer here... I always thought of some dream matches like Orton vs Rude, but it'll never happen unless you simulate the match on Smackdown vs Raw... LOL... But wrestling isn't the same anymore... Less entertaining, more predictible...

[manof34holds]

Thats because we're older bro. lol I got back into it just this last week because I was a Bret Hart fan and I heard his niece and nephew is in it now. Mysterio goes out and gave a kid one of his masks. From a kid's perspective, it's just as magical as it was for us back then. :-) Although a tad sexier. Those divas are niiiice.

[oldskoolkid78]

How sweet did I think these promos were?

My excuse; I was only 11. Now I'm 31.....some of these are just so stupid. Where as others are priceless.....

The mullets are pretty awesome....as well as the Rockers' ring attire.....they were just so rebellious.

It's so funny how serious I took this stuff....I still have all my WWF magazines in a box.....sad, but true :)

[Supertron5000]

It's not so sad, you should feel fourtunate to have grown up when you did. I really envy people who grew up in the 80's and early 90's.

[oldskoolkid78]

I am fortunate....I'm on SummerSlam 93 or holdin a sign up for Razor Ramon at the Palace...My dad is dead of cancer now...RIP for him taking me and Luger is in a fucking wheelchair....

I am alive and have a great career....I showed my fourth graders my 85 wrestling cards before Christmas Break...

Ms. Brown is some what cool or a total dork....

[MickeySlayah]

@oldskoolkid78 I miss the old original HULK RULES bandana...

[Panorama1981]

I think Macho King's promo was the best on that afternoon

[SackHaarRasierer]

absolutely great!

[boelefeld]

It comes very close but the star- & Hall of Fame-Power of the 1990 Rumble remains unmatched till today

[Brooklyn1564]

jake da snake gave the best interviews

[SamuraiYattaro]

Anyone know where I can get glasses like Macho Man?

[esco1110]

ask kanye west

[SamuraiYattaro]

Kanye West's shades are NOTHING compared to Macho Man. West cant handle the Macho Madness!!

[tkhushrenada]

@SamuraiYattaro

*interupts* "I'mma let you finish. I'mma let you finish, but The Mouth From The South had the greatest shades of all time!"

[jww112093]

@SamuraiYattaro OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHH!

[TehJew22]

@SamuraiYattaro *agrees with you by imitating the Macho Man Randy Savage*

OOOOH YEAAHHH! :O

[rkoguy]

@SamuraiYattaro OOOOOOOOOO YEAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[EBEalienbeing]

I think Macho Man had custom made glasses but I could be wrong.

[deltben]

what's with that ridic shirt ventura is wearing at the beginning?

[complexprocess2]

This took place in Orlando and they were making disney references throughout the night. The crazy shirt was just another one of those.

[EquenzuOja]

I think the title of this should be "Coke, Shrooms, Booze, LSD, Downs Syndrome, and Then Roids."

[Norvegicus7]

Gotta love The Macho man here...how is it possible to get a crazy voice like that?And his beautiful crown haha :)

[doowoppingchainsawer]

where are Mr. Perfect, Andre, Haku and Million Dollar Man's interviews?

[doowoppingchainsawer]

I love the Powers of Pain. By the way, youtube doesn't have this whole rumble (as you know) I miss Warlord's elimination and I know Barbarian comes in when Hogan and Warrior are on the mat "knocked out". Who elliminates those two?

[grindzilla]

I wanna see Honky lay down some

MEEN TUNES.

[diziamonddave]

look at jake the snakes trunks. you can see a crack pipe

[rbferrer100]

awesome

[revan664]

OIL ME UP, HITMAN!

[boelefeld]

Best Rumble of all time. You'll never see star power like this ever again in a rumble

[PEDROCLASSIC]

wish-list dream matches

king kong bundy vs the ultimate warrior

the heart foundation vs the midnight express

british bulldogs vs the road warriors

demolition vs lex luger and barry windham

the rockers vs the strike force

BRET HART vs THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR

[astepj76]

HOGAn=GOAT

[Buffdude432]

Jake "The Snake" gives the best promos ever.

[Juggernaut81886]

is it me, or does the Honky Tonk Man look like Will Sasso? LMAO

[Briguy3022]

LOL!!!!!!!

[pharohjamal]

HOGAN!!!!!!!

[airwolfwwf]

i still got them bret hart shades in silver .. (2 pairs)

[NewsMan580]

Now THESE are promos. These guys are fuckin great.

[OCcrazy1]

who is with bret

[impreza316]

jim the anvil neidhart. natalya's dad

[genestarwindjf80]

OH YEAHHH!!!

[polytide50]

Savage is the best for the promos - I wonder how long he had to calm down after those things

[azeron112]

Seeing this again after all this time i can only think of two things.

1. Theres bad guys, Heels, then Satan, and there is Jake Roberts. Best Ever!!

2. As long as Hogan wrestled, baby oil never went out of business.

Thanks for posting this.

Jake Roberts should have been called the "Cerebral Assassin" not HHH. I mean listen to the man's promos, he's profound as well as sinister. Very few wrestlers before or after Jake have nailed heel psychology like him. As for the other promos, 80's old school at its best. Damn I miss these days.
